FX 6100 vs Intel?

Sounds great but abit pricey for me right now xD id love to get it but ill be returning my $130 CPU and my $50 MB, so i kinda gotta get something close or maybe $10-$20 differences without spending so much, or the gf is going to kill me xD


ill look into that Lehsyrus! thanks! abit pricey as well lol. i just lost my job, so i cant really spend that much right now as much as i would love to! i was thinking a low end i3 or i5 with a cheap 3.0 USB 8-16GB Ram supported board.

okay i looked a little further for a cheaper price so i came with this:
Intel Core i5-3330 Ivy Bridge 3.0GHz (3.2GHz Turbo) $190
ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel $85

Thats not to bad at all! i spent about $130 on the CPU and $50 or so on the board, so returning it i would get more then half the price of what ever i am buying. iv been wanting an I5 for sure and i want a good board, something less cheap lol

i know its pretty cheap.. also what are you using your PC for?

Gaming, i play alot of league of legends, BF3 on ultra or high, planet side 2, and some other game's really. and the normal stuff email ect ect


Agreed Marceline, but i kinda wanted to upgrade without spending awhole ton but with going to intel, cause it seems alot better!

okay.. but im not to sure if that CPU is good for gaming. im guessing if you have a graphics card for those games that run smooth , it should be good. i would also research the i5 3330.

i thought intel was good for gaming in general, i got a 650 TI video card. ill look into the it 3330 for sure.

Intel is good but i never looked into the CPU.
